Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually to tho
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alternative and Blood-purihcr.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is iIcomparnbly
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause slceplcss-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to a heulthiul
condition.
Rev. 4. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society. writes that
his stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some inn
purity of the blood manifest but that
perfect cure was obtained by the use
OF Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick w. Pratt, i2i Washington
street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to
health"
William +. Bowkcr, Eric, Pa, was
cured of nervousness and sleeplcssness
by taking Ayers Sarsaparila for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

A Kind Voice

There is no power of love so hard
to get and keep as kind voice. A
kind hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may
be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of a soft heart and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as n sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels;
and it is hard to get and keep 1t in the
right tone. One must start in youth,
and be on the watch night and day, at
work and play. to get and keep voice
that shall speak at all times the
thoughts of kind heart. IL is often
in youth that one gets a voice or tone
that is sharp. and sticks to him
through life, and stirs up i'll will and
grief, and falls like drop of gall
on the sweet JOYS of home. Watch it
day by day as pearl of great price. for
it will be worth more to you in days to
come than the best pearl hid in the
sea. A kind voice is 10 the heart what
light is to the eye. 1t is light that
sings as we'll as shines. -Elihu BurritL

miles away.
TER reindeer are watched day and
night for the double purpose of keep

them from the ravages of the Norway
wolves, which when hungry are very
fierce. The wolves, frequently, in win.

reindeer in every way. They often
drive them hundreds of miles in winter
and take goods to market. They milk
them regularly, but not oftener than
two or three times per week. From
their milk they make all their butter
and cheese They sell their skins or
make clothing out of them. They
make spoons out of the horns OF the
reindeer, and ingeniously carve on
each spoon the picture of u reindeer.
They make preparation out OF the
milk of the reindeer m iXed with plant

the Lapps as most healthy and pal

They enlarge their hoofI in winter for
the purpose of enabling them to travel
easily over the deep snow, and also to
dig into the snow sometimes several
feet deep to get the moss at the bottom.
The Lapps also sell off each year some
of the increase of their reindeer, and
being most excellent food, they COM
mand a good price in the market.
Some of the Lapps are quite wealthy
in the number of their reindeer; others
less provident have smaller herds, but
every encampment of Lapps has at

their numbers usually range much

COWARDLY BEASTS.
The Real Nature of Americas Large Car
nivorous Quadrupcds.


The prevalent idea entertained by
those not familiar with the real nature
of our large carnivorous quadrupcds,
believe their instructive ferocity inn
pels them to assault every person they
meet, is not sustained by practical ex-
perience.
Those animals appear much more
formidable in the distance than when
approached in their own native wilds.
But few Eastern sportsmen would, it
is believed. voluntarily attack a bear,
wolf or panther, yet have seen and
killed many of those animals, and not
one of them ever turned upon me.
And in further cOrroboration of this,
my guide, Little Bat" who has dur
ing his lifetime killed over eighty griz-
zlies, assured me that all he ever met
invariably ran from him.
So confident was he of his ability to
cope with these much-dreaded mon
sters that he did not hesitate to hunt
them when alone and on foot. and
only two years ago he encountered
four grizzlies eating dead elk upon
Casper mountains, when he crawled
10 within short rifle range and shot
every one of them without moving
from his tracks, and upon another oc-
casion, while we were hunting in the
valley of the Big Horn, he went out
alone during a moonlight night and
shot two grizzlies from behind a tree.
Panthers and wolves are most arrant
towards, and the traditional story of
General Putnam having performed an
extraordinary feat of courage by en-
tering a cave and shooting Il wolf is
extremely laughable when contras'ed
with the fact that my wife upon one

all four paws, and dangerous to ap-

on him. With two strokes of his
kookrie he cut the hind tendons. and
the formidable legs were harmless.
At the same time l stepped up

through the skin, and l remembered

ago of his following and hacking with

a PLEASANT VOICE.
According to EIihu Burrett 1t Is Light
That Sings as Well as Shines.


That Sings as Well as Shines.
When one is born with an uncom-
for,able voice it requires so much
watching and training that very often
you give up the task and declare it
hopeless. One of the greatest diff
culties is to find out how your own
voice really does sound. Sometimes
people go through life without ever
knowing that they have dreadful
voices. Ones friends never care to
volunteer unpleasant information, and
even your bitterest enemy doesn't take
the opportunity of flinging this par
ticular disaereeable truth in your face.
The writer recalls friend, q lady
over fifty, whom she has known
since childhood, and whose voice
is of that peculiar ear-piercing g
quality that penetrates the aural nerve
like the friction of steel upon steel. 1t
commences pretty high up in the
gamut and keeps on ascending until
if she happens to be very much in
earnest-it invariably ends in the
steeliest upper note, like the ''ping' OF
the highest violin string. She is good
friend, and noble-hearted, conscien-
tious Christian woman, but after one
hour of her you are even willing to
trade her off for real bad, wicked
little wretch with soothing voice.
The first thing to consider is the
necessity of having kind voice. A
kind voice is always sweet one. 1t
allays irritation and soothes one down
sometimes quite as effectively as the
touch of soft, cool hand. Eiihu Bur-
ritt once said: Watch it day by day
as pearl of great price, for it will be
worth moro TO you in the days to come
than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is to the heart what light
is to the eye. 1t is light that sings
as we'll as Shines"
There certainly is much more atten-
ton being paid to this branch of
culture than ever before. How quick
ly we can tell cultivated voice even
at the end of telephone wire. 1t is
soft. velvety in quality, and is undu-
lated so as to embrace variety of
tones. Of course the telephone is not
always q test, because short woman
usually has to stand on her tiptoes and
screech in order to be heard at all.
But doubtless one, by simply putting
her ear to keyhole, could tell in q
few moments the social caliber and
degree Of cultivation of a whole COM
pany of people without seeing them at
all, so much is there in voice. Gen
orally an unframed voice goes with an
unframed intellect and passions. If
an individual has perseverance and
character enough for one she will have
for the other.
''But where" says my lady, "iies
the remedy, if one is never to know
how her own voice sounds?'
Try first asking your friends, if you
can pitch upon one with the courage
of his convictions. If you can not, or
you distrust the verdict after it is Civ
en-, 90 to n good elocutionist and pay
him to tell you the truth. If you know
your bad points, you can probably
remedy them yourself If you can not,
then any thing which will help you 10

a nasal one, or soften q gruf intona-
ton, will be well-spent labor and

Little Girl Learns How Sweet 1t Is to
Conquer That Which is Wrong.
She was daisy little girl. with large
brown eyes and yellow hair. She lived
in q Connecticut village. She had q
darling mamma and papa a little
brother and sister. and, what no girl
can spare, q grandfather home where
she was always the center of love,
devotion and care. Sometimes the
days were Just long hours of happi-
ness, and sometimes they were ages Of
misery. Now, why was there this
great difference? I win tell you the
secret This darling little girl was
possessed by habit that made all
about her miserable, and herself more
miserable than any one else. If she
was allowed to have her own way she
made life delightful for every one
about her, but if she was refused any
request, or forbidden to do that which
she wished to do, she made every
body about her wretched. Oh! the
ear-piercing screams, the poundings
and kickings, that followed any at
tempt to prevent her carrying out her
wish! How hard everybody about her
tried to help the little girl to overcome
this terrible temper! But her best help
was in her own warm heart. The
day came at last when she must

How anxiously was her return waited
for; but she came home smilingly. aud
with no trace of the ugly temper that
caused so much unhappiness. Sever
al days went by and no cloud ap-
pcared; but one day our little girl
wished to do that which was against
the rule of the school. She wished to
take home her book. The teacher
told her she could not. That was all
that was needed TO raise temptest
which SO frightened the teacher that
she gave her consent The little girl
picked up the book and started for
home. When she reached the door
she looked back, saw the expression
on the teachers face, and at once
turned, laid the book on the teachers
desk, and said: 1--WE been very
naughty; please forgive me, " and ran
home TO her mother, on whom she
threw herself, saying: I've got

of her struggle. She had gained the
victory. and since that day has gained
many. Very rarely now are there
